Other business laptops are also welcome in /tpg/ (e.g. Dell Latitude/Precision, HP EliteBook/ZBook).
---- If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance). Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models: T420 - 14", normal size X220 - 12.5", ultraportable ---- Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops) >Used machines are plentiful and cheap. >Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet. >Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels. >Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models. >Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop. >Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain. >The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad. >Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support. ----
So glad I didn't get meme'd this is the best purchase I've ever made. £300 for an awesome machine, cheers chaps.

Is the t430 still good in terms of build? It looks nice, I want to upgrade my old as fuck dell. I wish it had blue enter key though. Is it worth getting overall? It has the performance I want. Is there something better for a dgpu with good build but not ridiculous (w tier) screen size and weight?
David Allen
What do you think of the x24 ?

Cheapest 1080p model? It honestly looks like I'm going to shill out ~$1400 US for a 1080p T460 with 6-cell I just need something comfortable for University [Electrical Engineering] that is a little better than my X201 in terms of performance/Screen real-estate 1366x768 has made my laptop buying research a living hell
Kevin James
x260 egpu? I'm looking and I cant find much data on it. Why can't I use an expresscard adapter like PE4C?
Evan Stewart
I bought an x220 a couple months ago but this morning it gave me an 'invalid partition' error.
I restarted it but windows just crashes, tries automatic repair and restarts the laptop over and over. What should I do?
Levi Ward

I don't want our relationship to end this way but it's probably microsoft's fault

What's the most I should pay for this? Mind you this is in euroland.
Leo Nelson
Should I carry extra batteries around instead of power bricks?
Elijah Martin
>keep the charge levels very conservative
What levels are very conservative?
Michael Williams
How much Eurofag should pay for grade A X250 with ssd & shitty 1366x768 screen?
Michael Anderson
imo yes
it's less cumbersome to swap and you're not tied to a power source
if you have a dock, then at the end of the day you can just plop your thinkpad on it and charge both batteries at the same time (although I think shitovo dropped that feature on its docks)
I get by with 2 degraded 6 cells (~4 hrs per battery)
Angel Murphy
i carry thinkpad x200 + 9cell, and another 9cell, and 90watt charger. it's not that much weight.
Tyler Richardson
They should pay YOU to use that fucking shit.
Jack Green
why? do you really use it 20+ hours without having access to a socket daily?
Joshua Thomas
two degraded 9 cells can pull much less than that in reality
the X200 is an old laptop
Leo Hernandez

thinkpad is not for fug

What's your reason for upgrading, if it's not for the 1080p panel?
Jace King
I know what it is, I just wanted to know why (((((((((he)))))))))) had one.
Tyler Gutierrez
What, you don't?
Eli Rogers
>browses Sup Forums >doest wear panties and thigh highs
Because the X230 was the last X series Model with ExpressCard.
Jace Thompson
The few people who actually do that one here are real mentally degenerate fucks who need it to fuel their snowflake syndrome. Nothing funny, it's sad.
Dominic Harris
Go back to Sup Forums freak.
Asher James
anyone know why the hackintosh usb i made with unibeast isn't working?

Well, if youre girlfriend wears panties this size, then he would be automatically a pervert, I tried to do my best not to make it seem like that straight away.
Also >gf/wife >thinkpadfag
Leo Peterson
How many ThinkPads do you own?
Camden Wright
I will buy the fhd panel later. X250 has better support for Hackintosh.
Christopher Russell
my wife is in full support of me dressing up and fucking my thinkpad NOW thats loyalty
How's the hackintosh support for the T420? Same as the X220?
Josiah Sanchez
As long as it doesn't have the dGPU it's the same computer
Grayson Lopez
>be eurofag >buy T430i for 100€ >buy an i5 for 20€ >have a T430 for 120€ Nice feeling.
Lucas Russell
is there a difference in the keyboards of T420 and T420i? I just bought a replacement for my T420, but the listing says it is for T420i and i might have fucked up.
Connor Green
Is it worth getting a modern (50 or 60) ThinkPad? Is the 70 good? Or is the quality still as crap as the 40s? I don't really care about price, I just want the best I can get in the quality shell of the 20 series.
Dylan James
As a yuropean,
Is paying 80€ for a screen replacement (the LP125WH2 (SL)(B3) IPS) too much?
Ethan Evans
The 50 series up are all superb. They're almost on par with IBM
Carter Phillips
is it just me or is this a really good deal? didn't these retail for like 3k?
Yea. Always go with Thinkpads with car wallpapers.
Ian Sullivan
yes, just looked it up and the base w701 retailed at $2,599, fucking dipshit. >durr I don't know how to reinstall an operating system, I'm retarded, it's going to have le car stuff on it dude!@!!
Thomas King
How are these? I guess it is IPS in both. Worth it?
Bentley Jackson
anyone?
Nathaniel Brooks
I let one go on shitbay for 350USD a few years ago
>retailed doesn't matter, this was years ago the only thing giving it above average worth is collector's value
Connor Perez
>um why is lenovo using the same dumb marketing that literally every fucking manufacturer uses that cards = IT GOES FAST?????????????

Andrew Flores
AHHAAH
Oliver Cooper
My SIster bought one for £140 off Ebay. I have an X60s. Did she get a good deal?. i5, 4 gb Ram, 320 gig H/drive. The only thing I don't like is the 1368 x 768 screen.
Colton Gutierrez
Same user....a T430.
Jordan Sanchez
>the only thing giving it above average worth is collector's value and, you know, the quad core i7 and nvidia 1gb vram

Old CPU and GPU. No thanks. Literary something a MBP from 2012 can beat in performance.
